Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are having left side chest pain and you are drinker
So as per my opinion cardiac causes should be ruled out... Your work up done as follow..
_Auscultation
_CBC
_EKG
_2D echocardiography only if needed
_chest x ray if needed after Auscultation
According to cause specific treatment given
Provide your reports for further discussion
Consult pulmonologoist for examination and further work up accordingly
